Chapter 477 It’s Impossible
The golden light had just dissipated, and the knife light like the silver light under the moon came one after another, piercing people's eyes.
But in fact, it was only a moment. When Hua supported his limp body and slowly stood up, he saw Mikael with an ice knife piercing his heart.
At the last moment, he dodged the eight knives that slashed at his body and limbs with an almost unimaginable reaction speed, but he also failed to dodge the knife that stabbed at his heart.
But, what does it matter?
"Ying, Hua, is this your plan? What's the point?"
Mikael raised his head, and the golden light curtain did not disappear. It continued to extend outward, covering the entire floating port in a moment. However, in stark contrast to its appearance, it did not seem to cause any waves.
The effect of the two restraining forces neutralizing each other is no different from negative and negative to positive. The barrier that could have invalidated all the collapse energy in an instant is now only a meaningless golden light curtain. But this at least shows one thing, the barrier still exists, and what is neutralized is only the power of restraint, not the barrier itself.
And this is Ying's purpose.
"Stab--"
The long knife covered with frost was quickly pulled out from Mikael's chest, and the sharp frost brought out a lot of flesh and blood. When the blood beads just splashed out, they still scattered white steam, but if time is paused and a closer look is taken, the clear surface still reflects a faint golden light.
Ying's face was unprecedentedly cold. She drew out the long knife and slashed it with her backhand. The blue frost cold air brought by the long knife when it was swung blurred her facial features, and only the purple light in her eyes locked the target tightly. This is how she looks when facing the enemy. However, Mikael should be the first person to see this face.
"Dang!"
Mikael held his right hand in vain, and a golden short spear appeared in his hand in time, blocking the cold blade, but it was only delayed for a moment, and the blade deflected an angle, continued forward, and easily cut Mikael's neck.
Mikael's head was spinning in the sky, but his body didn't seem to be affected. He took advantage of the moment when Sakura didn't have time to put away the knife and kicked out quickly. Sakura wanted to deflect her body, but it was too late. This kick directly hit her lower abdomen and kicked her out.
The short spear in his right hand thrust towards the top of his head, just catching the falling head. Mikael grabbed the hair with his left hand and pressed the head back to his neck.
The ice debris at the broken end dissolved in an instant, and only the blood flowing down the neck could prove that this head had flown into the sky.
"Hmph..."
Sakura reversed the ice knife and stabbed it into the ground. Before her retreating figure stopped, she rushed up again without a sound.
The restraining barrier formed by the rated power of the eleventh divine key lasted only one minute. She had no time to waste, and she didn't even have time to say a word to Mikael.
Only in this one minute, Mikael could not use the power of restraint, which was also the fairest fighting environment for her.
This thought flashed through her mind uncontrollably, but before she could erase it, her figure had already rushed in front of Mikael again.
The ice blade was put back at her waist, and then it was swung out, the tip of the blade drew a perfect arc, and at a certain moment, Mikael saw his own eyes through the thin frost on the blade.
Those eyes may have stared at something, but now, they are dull like the eyes of an indifferent bystander.
But he did not hesitate, or it can be said that he did not need to use his brain at all in this level of battle, his body would move on its own.
He stretched out his right hand, and the black abyss white flower appeared in his hand with a reverse grip, the tip of the gun pierced into the ground, and the tail of the gun tilted to the right front, just blocking the path of the ice blade.
At the same time, there was a thin layer of soil at the feet of Sakura, who did not even notice it. The green vines drilled out of this thin layer of soil and quickly wrapped around Sakura's ankles to her calves.
Indeed, even with Mikael's mastery of the power of death, he could not give birth to new life in a completely dead object like metal, but... he is also a Ruler of Reason. He can directly construct soil that can give birth to life. Unfortunately, Yulandel should not be able to learn this trick.
Time seemed to stop at this moment. Ying's long sword was blocked by the black abyss and white flowers, and her legs were entangled by vines. Even if she could break free quickly, it was too late.
And Mikael's other hand, which was a palm knife, had almost reached Ying's chest, and it flashed purple lightning at the moment of contact.
Coincidentally, this moment was also the moment when the two looked into each other's eyes.
Mikael stared quietly into the pair of purple eyes. There was no tension or fear in those eyes. In addition to the usual calmness, there seemed to be a hint of relief.
He didn't know what the meaning of Ying's doing this was.
Even if he could not use the power of restraint and lost the power of time, as the hero who knew him best, he could not be unaware of the fact that he was almost immortal under the dual influence of the power of reason and the power of death.
Then what was the point of doing this? In Mikael's view, the only moment in today's battle from beginning to end that really posed a threat to him was the moment when Theresa liberated Judas.
So...
Even if time is stretched to infinity, as long as it is not truly stagnant, there will always be a moment when it ends.
And the moment time returns to normal, Mikael's hand knife will pierce Ying's heart. She is not a Herrscher, and Yasha is also... just tenacious, not a fusion Houkai beast like Garuda with rapid healing ability or Shesha with resurrection ability.
But so what.
Mikael had already told Hua that next time they meet as enemies, both sides should not hold back.
He always keeps his word, at least he hopes he can keep his word.
But just when his fingertips had touched Ying's heart and the purple lightning had even broken through her flesh and blood by more than an inch, the space was frozen.
At the same time as the space froze, Ying's right hand released the ice knife, her body deflected to the right, and her left hand, which was originally stroking the scabbard, suddenly burst out with the same dazzling lightning as Mikael's hand, and the scabbard turned directly into the third God Key Seven Thunders of Purification!
Ying held the Seven Thunders of Purification in reverse and slashed upwards, easily cutting off Mikael's left arm. She turned her wrist again, and almost at the same time as Mikael used the power of the void to get rid of the frozen space, she stabbed the tip of the knife flashing with lightning into Mikael's heart again.
But what's the point of this?
Stabbing him in the heart a thousand or ten thousand times would only bring him some almost pleasant pain, and would not really hurt him, unless she had a way to temporarily block all his powers with this knife, but except for the Tenth God Key, Mikael could not think of any other weapon that could do this.
He naturally saw Ying's plan to lure the enemy from the beginning, but he was confident that any means would only cause some insignificant troubles for him who mastered the twelve powers of the Herrscher, so he dared to cooperate with Ying's actions in an almost defenseless manner.
But... it seemed that the worst situation really happened.
Mikael's face suddenly changed. If he had a chance to say something, he would probably shout:
"Really?!"
Accompanied by a strange electromagnetic wave exploding in his body, he seemed to have returned to five hundred years ago, when the power of the end was split and stripped by Prometheus.
"No power can be used... No, no, the connection with the imaginary singularity is disordered..."
It was like throwing an electromagnetic jammer into a pile of wirelessly connected electrical appliances. Although Mikael was originally a router, uh... the real imaginary singularity, the cocoon of the end itself, when using specific powers, it is also necessary to let the imaginary internal energy flow through the imaginary singularity projection of the corresponding plane. However, under the interference of the strange electromagnetic wave, the connection with the imaginary singularity represented by each power was completely disordered-the power of reason did not respond, the power of emptiness did not respond, and tried to call the power of thunder, but the connection was the imaginary singularity of the power of ice... and the most important-the power of constraint!
As Mikael suddenly lost control of his own power, the restraining power that was originally neutralized by each other also lost control.
However, should it be said that it was good luck? The Tenth God Key just consumed all the Honkai energy at this moment.
Or perhaps it was not a coincidence. Once such a large-scale restraining barrier is really put into operation, even if it only runs for one second, it is enough to turn the entire floating port into hell.
So that's why. No wonder, with Sakura's swordsmanship, she could completely overcome the incoordination of her body and stab the third God Key directly into Mikael's heart, but she chose the option of being one second slower, cutting off Mikael's arm first, and using this second to release the rated power of the Tenth God Key!
The barrier of the Tenth God Key seemed to disappear with Mikael's power, but it was actually a little later. There was a time difference in between that normal humans could not capture.
If time is compared to a road, normal people walk with steps. The part where the two restraining powers were neutralized was a normal road section of 60 meters in length, and that time difference projected on the road could be regarded as a dog shit less than one millimeter wide. Every step taken by a person would have a stride of nearly one meter. Only the truly chosen ones would have the probability of guessing the dog shit exactly, but even so, not much would stick to the soles of the shoes, and the body would not be harmed.
But Mikael was different. The power of the cocoon of the end was time, which itself was the proof of the existence of time. It was everything that had truly walked on the road of time. Imagine that it was not a person, not moving forward in steps, but a stone egg like in the imaginary space, rolling on the ground. No matter how narrow the width of that "dog shit" was, it would inevitably run over it.
So, he was truly affected by the restraining power, even if it was just a moment that ordinary people could not perceive, but if he observed it with consciousness, he should be able to capture this moment.
Mikael raised his head with his last bit of strength. A flame that only he could see tore through the dark clouds that had gathered when he used the power of thunder, and gradually enlarged in Mikael's pupils.
"It's really a clichéd plot that can't be more clichéd."
Mikael complained weakly, and the next moment, everything around him, the floating port, the broken dark clouds, and the blazing flames disappeared, and all that surrounded him was pure paleness.
But to his surprise, this time, the person standing in front of him was not Hua, but Ying.
"Is it strange? You should also understand that Hua's consciousness can no longer support her to appear in front of you like this. However, with the degree of her forgetfulness of memory, even if she appears here, there may be nothing to say."
Seeing Sakura's serious expression, Mikael suddenly burst out laughing uncontrollably.
"Um?"
"It's nothing, it's just that you are still the same as before. You are not used to not having a knife on your waist."
Sakura's expression did not change, she just silently lowered her left hand that was caressing her waist.
"I have to admit that this is the most powerful counterattack you have made in the past five thousand years. Whether it is the control of time or the use of weapons, almost every inch of value has been maximized. I am very curious, third I can understand that the Divine Key was taken over by Velvet for renovation and plastic surgery, but what is it that ultimately causes me to be unable to connect to the rest of the Herrscher’s powers?”
There is a big difference between that kind of power and the power of restraint. The power of restraint just roughly erases everything, and this power does not erase anything. It just messes up Mikael's ability to perceive and connect to various imaginary singular points. Got a mess.
"Actually, you should have the impression that Honkai fission bombs have proven themselves to be useless except a waste of taxpayers' money through actual battlefield performance. After the eighth Honkai Impact, Fire Chaser tried to develop a low-cost weapon against The Herrscher's specialized weapon. This is the Rod of the Underworld. Its principle is not to erase the Herrscher's power, but to use a special electromagnetic wave band to disturb the Herrscher's nerves and energy connections, making him gradually unaware of what he is doing. , and also forgot how to obtain and use one's own power."
Having said this, Mikael remembered that the research and development of this weapon had indeed been completed, but in the end, because the cost and materials could not be met, it was not as good as the Fusion Warrior System after all considerations, so it was thrown into the garbage by the Fire Chaser Moth. inside.
But neither Mikael nor Sakura nor Mei would have imagined that this thing would be used again one day.
"Okay, let's talk if you have anything to say. I don't think we have extra time."
"Mikael, aren't you curious? As heroes, why should we stop you?"
Mikael nodded, then shook his head. The smile on his face was somewhat funny, and then he choked back Sakura's words:
"If you are beating around the bush, then I think it's better not to say anything. I believe that both of us are familiar with each other. Just like I can easily guess what you are doing sometimes, you should also understand what I am thinking. You don't need to That kind of hypocritical talk.”
"Okay... let me tell you the truth, Mikael, according to our calculations, what you want to do is simply impossible."
